DCCs Ancient World

So in reading through all the DCC adventures in preparation for Tenkar’s contest (go vote!) I started to see the shape of the ancient world.

(there may be spoilers in what follows)

clinical version:

Age of the Builders

Age of Dinosaurs

Age of Serpent-men

Age of Worms

Age of Strife (includes the Toad War)

Age of Cults

cheesy version:

Man is a wretched being doomed to endlessly suffer the whims of one malevolent era after another.

The earliest records tell of a powerful race of sea creatures that predated the age of dinosaurs. This is telling in that there were civilizations before man. It also confirms that there was an age of dinosaurs. Did mankind live alongside these giants or did our beginnings fill the void left by them? Perhaps time will tell.

And then the world was ruled by worms when man appears to be most similar to who we understand us to be. Information about this foul era is not readily available (yet) and I left wondering if this is some sort of degenerate culture left by the serpent men? How much more time passed before the machinations of supernatural forces lead humanity to fight their battles in the Toad Wars?
